how do I open up my outlook account for work at home?

Answer 1

Just set up a new account with the work pop3 address and password. You can have multiple accounts.

You can also see the mail on the web using http://mail2web.com/

Answer 2

Does your company have an internal email server or does it use an outside email service provider?

If your company uses an outside email service provider you should be able to log into your email account from anywhere in the world where you have access to the Inet by using a web browser. Also if you find out what the POP3 and SMTP server URL's of this email service provider are you can configure Outlook or Outlook Express so you can use them as your email client software at home.

Don't forget to check out Thunderbird for your home use as well,

On the other hand, if your company has it's own internal email server ask your Email Administrator to help you set access up at home.

Have fun but be safe.

Answer 3

Hi Shanna. You should check w/ your email administrator at work. If you are on an EXCHANGE servier (which you probably are) you will need to ask you administrator to get VPN access (Virual Private Networking). alternatively, many companies have web based exchange access, the url would look like this:

webmail.yourcompanyname.com/exchange or something like that.

If your company doesn't allow VPN connections to your company servers, then you could ask them for gotomypc or something like that so you can connect to your desktop computer at work from home.

i hope this helps!
